Laura’s POV

Four years ago,

I sat at the doctor’s office awaiting the result of pregnancy test. I have been feeling nauseous lately which were signs of pregnancy. I told Carlos about the possibility which is why we came to the hospital together.

He held my hands as we both smiled at each other. We wanted to hear the doctor say, “Congratulations…..” that when I know my life will finally be complete.

The doctor came in minutes later, he wore no smile on his face as he read out the test result, it came out negative, both our smiles fade immediately as expectations were cut short.

That wasn’t the only bad news I received as the doctor said, “Mrs. Diaz, while we run a couple of test on you we found out that your womb has been blocked and as such you can no longer bear children”

He even said that at this point early in our lives, it was best we started exploring other options like surrogacy or we could adopt a baby and raise in our way.

I know he is a doctor but those weren’t the things you

  • The Seductress   CHAPTER THIRTEEN

    Vanessa’s POVI was finally trying to have my rest after a long and stressful evening. I came out of the shower with my bathrobe, taking out a fresh towel from the cabinet to dry my hair as I stared at the nightlife from the balcony, drinking champagne straight from the bottle.“They all seem happy” I said aloud followed by a long sigh, watching from the balcony as people moved freely and enjoyed themselves even though it was close to midnight.Dropping the unfinished bottle of wine on the credenza, dragged my entire body to the bed as I crawled my drunk self to the middle, stretched out both my arms and legs to the north/south, east/west respectively of the bed, while my body was stayed at the center, I stared up to the ceiling counting sheep before I got bored and closed my eyes to sleep.I drank not because I wanted to, the problem was that my nightmare will haunt me if I tried sleeping normally. I dread having to wake up each night like that. Two days ago was the same but when I h

    The next morning already screamed violence as I hummed a sound while I bathe…… won’t tell you what song, could be wrecking ball though.I wore a simple red dress, don’t want to outshine the bride, and by bride I mean Carlos. Poor poor Carlos, he should be going crazy by now having to deal with his personal assistant resignation and all.When I arrived at the company I followed the yellow brick road to the wizard castle, just kidding, I went into elevator and stopped at his office floor. The personal assistant chair was empty but her desk wasn’t, which only means one thing, Danger has done his job…… let’s leave the other option for now, no negativity please.Think about the dramatic way I opened the door to Carlos office, the smile that appeared on my face having to see how distressed he was, his table filled with different files, he is too busy that he isn’t even aware of my presence, how pleasant is that? This is what I call a mission complete.Danger will surely get his reward for t

    Today which was Sunday, I thought I needed to pay my visit to someone who has been special to me. Since I had return all I did was focus on my revenge plan but I never once visited her to learn whether that was what she wanted.I know that I needed to find out what exactly caused the explosion that day, was it intentional or just a mere accident, there has to be something behind it because the case was closed too early and my body was never found.I don’t exactly have to point out people I believe might have been involved because they may not have actually done anything like that.Standing before my final resting place made me want to cry, this was were the house Carlos and I built our first home together, now it was a structure that held my memorial on. The whole building was gone with the flames and the ruins had been vanquished.At the memorial ground, names of the people who died in the fire were written on different stones, I read through each and everyone of them and had only my

    I wasn’t kidding when I said I plan on making an entrance today, this was a chance I have been given and wasn’t planning on throwing it away. There were ways that I plan on winning Carlos back to my side and making Laura feel what I felt but I decided to go subtle but in a harsher form not obvious to the eyes.I wore a white shirt and buttoned it down below my neckline, so it didn’t expose my boobs but sent a clear message. It was my skirt that did the most talking, though it wasn’t short it was tight and hugged my ass perfectly and then that split at the side of the skirt, showing off those fresh legs of mine.Too bad all of this will be hidden behind a desk until I am called to his office.When I arrived at the office it was quite early, so I used that time to arrange my desk and look into schedule which was formerly handled my his secretary, made a couple of calls and reminded them about the meetings.When I was done with all of that, he finally came.

    I was quick to arrange everything back as it was, though not having much time to think about where I could hide or what to say if caught. I still did not know who had walked in but there was a ninety-nine percent chance it was Carlos.Looking at the room and also weighing the minutes before Carlos get to this table, I know my only option was to hide under the desk I was close to----- it may seem like today was desk day.For some reason I just wasn’t afraid. I held my breathe as I leaned closer under the desk after seeing the person’s shoes, my legs were bent and my head, slanted in a bad manner, it was an uncomfortable position to be in but I managed since getting caught was no longer an option.I watched Carlos footsteps as it was only his shoes I could see, his shoes were different from the ones he always wear when we got married, I guess he upgraded his wardrobe with my money.Then again, there is also the prenuptial agreement at his drawer, if he indeed signed that without me know

    Days went by so quickly and the only progress I could make was with my work, I know I was impressing him but he was yet to let me know. Carlos too had been busy, he barely even looked at me for a second and I was his secretary.How would I be able to charm him when he won’t even look at me, it was tiring to be honest and painful because I know I was doing the best I could.I have been nice and chosen not to keep my head up high because I know my hus…. I mean Carlos doesn’t like proud people, if not I would have gone the other route which needed me to be rude at all times, yet gorgeous.Besides I haven’t gotten used to the role I was playing, also do not want to rush things at the same time.“Carl….” I got up to call for his attention but he wasted no time out as he return back to his office, it’s the same everyday, with this new launch I don’t think he is going to ever notice me and my time was running out.The only person who was able to notice me was this frequent visitor who was co

    When the short hand of the clock touches eleven and the long hand was at the stroke of twelve, I packed my bag and got ready for the time Carlos will leave. I wasn’t doing anything peculiar before and even now.Carlos wasted no time coming out as he looked shocked to see that I was still at the office, I explained to him that I was just about to leave but forgot something…… him.Things weren’t going according to plan as I had wanted but it is fine which is why you should always have a back up. Whilst he went to pick up his car from the parking area, I waited at the front of the company trying to holler for a cab to pick me up, of which I was trying so hard.I stood out in the cold still waiting for his car to pass by and then he would offer me a ride and I would inexcusably accept, which he knows I have turned down several times that he offered.Today was different, it was too risky for me to go home by myself and my phone was broken beyond repairs for me to order for an Uber, apparen

    I didn’t know when we arrived at his mansion as I had fallen asleep in the car, Carlos was right about me needing some rest. As promised, he woke me up and waited till I was wide awake before helping me out of the car. He was acting like I was a sick patient or something, at least it was working in my favor so I shouldn’t complain.When we both got the doorstep, Laura had been waiting for us even as the time was way past midnight, I figured Carlos must have called and told her everything while I was asleep.I tried to look pitiful and tiresome as Laura pulls me into a hug, I still do not like her close to me not to think of her touching me but I couldn’t resist and just played along. Just like Carlos had asked if I was alright several times, Laura had done the same.I don’t understand what their problem but I am sure I made it clear that I was fine, maybe they just love to get into people’s good books all the time.Laura asks if I had anything to eat and that she could ask their live-

    Work, work, work and work but nothing could stop me from taking my eyes away from Carlos’ office, I was strongly biding my time, waiting for the appropriate time to strike. Many hours passed, each hour, I was more and more anxious as I could hardly hold my breathe.I already checked out o the security team handling the CCTV and I know when they leave to have some drinks leaving one of their member behind, that is when I shall go in. I can easily go in and do whatever I wanted but it will be suspicious if I stayed longer than usual and especially checking out Carlos’ desk.I need to be very mindful so no errors will be made at all.At the stroke of eleven, I was a hundred percent sure half of the workers had gone home, I went ahead to briefly check on the security team and as I thought they had all abandon their duties, this time no one was on seat!I didn’t need to be told twice that this was God-given opportunity.I hurried to Carlos’ office and went for the drawer that I had seen th

    Carlos waited for me at his car as he was taking me with him to work. “How was your night?” He asked while the driver drove us.“It was fine” I replied with a smile, “Though I think I am reacting to something, a bit of a rash, I will have it sorted with the doctor, I already scheduled an appointment”“Oh, that’s good. I was starting to get worried, do let me know what the problem is” Carlos said offering the best care possible, he does show concern a lot.“I will”Our talk moved from personal to business real quick as Carlos ran me quick on the schedules for today and how I should manage it, he also had a meeting today of which he will be going all by himself and would barely be at the office, which for me was a good thing.I will finally get to search every nook and cranny for more info on Carlos, something tells me he is hiding something about those prenuptial agreement I saw, then that man and lady he called Sabrina.I need more dirt on him and what better time than to find it.My h

    While Mr. Whites and Carlos discussed business in the living room, Laura and Sasha did a bit of catching up as they laughed and giggled talking about their children and how they couldn’t wait for them to be finally be together.I sat with the ladies, listening to every of their conversation, I couldn’t relate as it had nothing to do with me or anything that could probably surround the lifestyle I was living now.Sasha made a few side comments when talking Laura, throwing shades at me because they were married, she said something like, “Us married women…” like who does that! I was once married too, you idiots! That fool, stays there laughing like she isn’t a husband snatcher her self. I didn’t mind them as I was more concerned about eavesdropping on the conversation Selma and Abigail were having in his room. I needed to hear every detail but I didn’t want to make it look suspicious either so I sat there and listened to married women talk.“Vanessa, you were engaged to be married befo

    Laura has been up and doing since morning, doing her best to prepare for this guests that were on their way, she had co-ordinated her maids to help with cleaning and inspected the chefs who were handling today’s meal, it was sad to see what Laura had become.If she compare herself from the time I knew her till now, she has completely changed, one wouldn’t even believe that this party girl has suddenly become a housewife whose job is to sit around, organise dinners, caution her 23 yrs old and wait for her husband to return.She was now a shadow of her former self.Though I offered to help as I had nothing exactly doing, she was kind enough to refuse, saying that I still need much rest and she could handle everything necessary, of course I didn’t object, just sat around watching her over-exert herself while I think of my next move.I already contacted Danger to look into the man who had ransacked my apartment, in secret. I know Carlos had reported this, I just wanted to deal with it per

    It hasn’t even been a day since I came here, and am already noticing how angsty Laura gets over her son’s illicit behaviors when it came to the workers. Though I haven’t think much towards it, I have decided to add Abigail into my plans, he seems like someone who would reveal everything to me after gaining his trust through sex.So, tonight I plan on luring him into my room and making a move on him. This will have a serious effect on my main plan a bit, that is, if Carlos comes to know but I do know of a way to handle it.After dinner tonight, Laura and I made small talk while Abigail was in the living room with us, Carlos on the other was yet to return home. Through the entire conversation I had with Laura, I made special eye contact with Abigail.He was witty enough to realize what I was leering him towards. Abigail didn’t seem to reject as he return focus to the book he was reading which was about little women, literally.For a moment there I thought that I might have won him over,

    The tour ended immediately I set my eyes on a cabinet that held a photo frame of my former self, candles were lit and flowers surrounded it. This was placed in a much private area away from the living room.I looked at myself for a while as I was building up intense anger, it hurt me so much because I saw no use of this. What were they trying to prove? Huh?What is all this?! I hollered within me as tears started falling from my eyes, I felt I was been mocked by them because they lack no right to lit a candle for me.I fell to my knees breaking down in tears, Laura had laid comforting hand on my shoulder thinking that I was crying over my dead friend, I shrugged it off, immediately wiping my tears with my hand.I was determined to leave until when Laura said, “She was my best friend and I loved her so much”“Which was why you married her husband?” I blurted rudely, having no control of myself as I added, “I mean, it wasn’t up to a year before you married Carlos, was it?”I know my que

I spent my night rolling around the bed not been able to sleep as my mind were clouded with thoughts about Vanessa’s killer coming to hunt me.The possibility that my like might have been cut short from me last night and then the revenge I came all the way here for won’t happen again. I had just realize that I was no longer dealing with issues of myself but something bigger than that, there was the prenuptial agreement that I am still to figure, then this unknown woman called Sabrina and now this too.I know that I was strong and could handle it, I just needed to find someone who would help put the puzzle pieces for me together, someone who knows both Laura and Carlos’ relationship perfectly and then I will use it against them…… a minion was who I was searching for.As I could no longer sleep, I decided to take a self-tour around the mansion to see if I could find something useful for myself as I stepped out of my room I noticed how awfully quiet it
